What would you wish for if you had one chance?

Esme Cassidy had two dreams growing up: to be a famous film star, and to own Drumblair Castle.

Sadly, overly cautious parents put paid to a career in front of the camera, instead encouraging her to study towards a ‘proper job’, and Lady Olivia MacBain is the current custodian of ‘her castle’.

After graduating and a year travelling, Esme returns home broken-hearted and throws herself into her new role as Lady Olivia’s PA at Drumblair Castle. It’s not quite her original dream but at least she’s living at the castle in one of the estate cottages with her housemate and friend, handsome, yet quirky, groundsman Judd.

With the news that the castle will be used as a film set for a period movie, Esme gets to witness first-hand the career she missed out on. And with her teenage crush in the starring role, she can’t believe her luck. But he wouldn’t be interested in a girl like her, surely?

Perfect for the fans of Alison Sherlock, Jessica Redland and Fay Keenan

Nice story

I like that the main character got to realize her dreams, and also picked the guy who is rock solid, and happened to be a little neurodivergent.
I didn’t appreciate the over the top “flaming” portrayal of the gay friend. Seemed stereotypical and was a bit irritating. There were a few characters that seemed pretty far over the top in the voice acting.
Overall, I like the series and would recommend.

Love this series!

Hope this series continues, along with the narrator. This book was particularly wonderful. I loved the characters and their slow romantic build. Beautiful story.
